I’m not sure if it’s just a trend within the office in which I work but it’s recently occurred to me that those in power are getting more and more mercenary. Sure they sound good whilst their going on about their latest scheme for the business or whatever. They certainly dream lots (in my experience they’re mostly dreaming whilst at work) but it either never comes to fruition until about seven years later in a completely different format trying to convince everyone that not only they are the main motivation behind the project but that they’ve been slogging away at it all the time behind the scenes and this is the culmination of seven years of sweat and toil on their part.

I began all this with research starting about two months ago (probably more) when I was a total water cooling n00b and would probably have rigged it all up without ever thinking about radiators. Now I apparently have a good setup and what’s more, I can fit it all inside my case! Read More
